Can you get hit by someone else’s ransomware? – Naked Security

The point is that many ransomware samples, with no modification or reprogramming needed, automatically scramble any and all connected drives they can see when the malware kicks off.

That pretty much guarantees that your C: drive will get zapped, because almost every Windows user has one of those, but if you also have an S:drive, for example, mapped across the network to access the company’s shared server folders…

…then you can kiss all that data goodbye, too.
